Wikipedia Same-sex Marriage article: – “Religious institutions oppose homosexual unions because of the elimination of inherent differences between men and women that maximize the potential for sacrificial love in a relationship. Due to the difference between the sexes, much tension is encountered in heterosexual relationships and marriage. Homosexual unions eliminate this tension and the associated communication barriers. At first glance, this may be seen as beneficial, and worthy of pursuit. However, religious institutions often argue that the differences and tensions between the sexes are seen as opportunities to love. Needless to say, this particular scope of opportunity (the difference between the sexes) to love and sacrifice are abandoned in the homosexual union, which, as the Church maintains, makes the relationship itself less than perfect. Religion notes that love is the principle virtue, objectively worthy of reckless pursuit; thus, homosexual unions are, in this sense, ‘less than full.'”
